Kayaks have made navigating through the waters a simple and enjoyable task. There are different types of kayaks that are available on the market, and this may make it difficult for the buyer to select the right product.

Sun Dolphin has established itself as a preeminent kayaking manufacturer and their products meet the needs of the users.

If you are looking for a perfect kayak that will give you the opportunity to have fun with your family, you can give the Sun Dolphin Bali 10′ sit-on kayak a trial. This is a great tool for lakes and rivers.

The KL Industries Sun Dolphin Bali SS Kayak Features

The features of the Bali kayak model are varied and diverse in nature, and below, we will look at each of them in detail and explore the benefits.

Solid Construction

As I mentioned briefly in the intro, the Bali SS employs the sturdiest materials in its construction. Like most KL Industries Sun Dolphin Kayaks, the Bali SS lineup makes use of Fortiflex high-density polyethylene in its exterior construction.

This sturdy outside allows you to store it wet without fear of the material breaking down, and its Fortiflex construction is UV-stabilized so that it does not fade with exposure to the sun.

In addition, the polyethylene materials used on the Bali SS kayak promote the tracking and paddling ability of the compact watercraft. This means that you can now cruise down a lake or river with supreme ease, and maximum stability.

Ample Storage

As an avid paddler, I do not like to go onto the water unprepared for the many unexpected occurrences that are common when you kayak.

That is why I always set out on my water adventures with a variety of gears, a change in clothes, multiple bottles of water, sufficient food and snacks, and my overpriced phone.

Now you might ask me where I expect to safely keep all of my gear and belongings in the Bali SS kayak. The answer will please you. It has a dry storage compartment for keeping all your personal belongings, and shock deck rigging for securing any fishing accessories.

If this is not enough for you, you can take advantage of the Portable Accessory Carrier (P.A.C) which acts as a backpack or tow behind which can store all your extra gear.

Additional Convenience

Like most sit-in kayaks, the Sun Dolphin Bali 10′ sit-on kayak sports a large, and open cockpit which is easy to get in and out of. Additionally, the kayak has a paddle holder for when you want to free up your hands, and adjustable foot braces that allow you to settle comfortably in the kayak.

Comfortable Seating Area

Whether you are using the kayak for family fun or for fishing, you need a model that will offer a greater level of comfort. This will make it easy to cover long distances without having issues with your back. This kayak has a large, comfortable seating area with protective thigh pads to provide the user with maximum comfort while you are on the waters.
